I've got an oil leak at the front of the engine that I can't seem to find. Can the fan housing be removed and taken off engine with the engine still mounted in the car?

Yeah I've done it too. Its seriously not a lot of fun, especially on a hot summer day laying on your back with oil dripping on you. Its also probably hard on your transmission mounts since they are acting as pivots.
By the time you have tilted the engine down far enough to undo and remove the doghouse, removing 2 more bolts, some wire clips and hose clamps to pull the engine the rest of the way really isn't any more time. Zach |

Zach Zach... I never had to move the back of the motor down. I just pull the engine tin, the fan, the AC compressor, the shift rod. Then the fan housing comes out the bottom. The problem was putting it back in.. getting the cooling flaps in correctly when you can't see them is a trick. Clay |
